FREDERICK A. WILSON, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK REGISTER AND VENTILATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed July 7, 1909, Serial ms. 506,261.

Patented J an. 2,1912. Renewed November 9, 1911. Serial No. 659,426.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK A. WIL- soN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New 5 York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Registers andVentilators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My inventionrelates to improvements in registers and ventilators, the same being particularly adapted for use in a side wall.

The object of the invention is to provide an improved side wall register, the construction of which is adjustable in a variety of Ways, for example, it is adjustable to the thickness of the wall and it is also adjustable as to its deflector arrangement, whereby air may be caused to flow through all parts of the register face plate uniformly. These and other advantages will be apparent to the mechanic skilled in theart from a reading ,of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a view of the under side of the register.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section on theplane of the line :1202 Fig. 1.

1 represents a box suitably constructed of sheet-.metal and arranged to stand in the wall. This'box 1 carries at its fronta face 80 plate2 of the usual perforated construction,

said face plate standing flush with the surface of the wall. In the preferred form of construction the face plate 2 is connected to the box 1 telescopically or in such manner 5 as to be adjustable to and fro to compensate for walls of varying thicknesses. 3 represents the telescopic connection between the plate 2 and box 1.

1 represents conventionally the upper end 40 of a flue, such as found between the walls of a building. In order to have the box I register properly with the flue 4 and so as to be properly connected therewith, it'is desirable to have the aforesaid adjustable connection between the box 1 and face plate 2. The box 1 has a rearward extension 1 and ends 1"1". The rear extension 1? is curved backwardly and down so as to deflect the air rising through flue 4 forwardly through the face plate 2. Inasmuch as the tendency of the air is to rise upward, it is apparent that the major part of the air might flow through the upper part of the face plate and hence to'prevent this I provide supplemental curved deflecting plates '5, 6 and 7, hinged respectively ate, 6 and face plate 2 uniformly 7,. Each of these curved deflectors is con.- nected at its lower end with a suitable adjusting device. Each adjusting device in this case comprises a screw 8 passing through a threaded nut 9 on the lower end of each deflector respectively. The forward end of each-screw 8 is accessible from the front side of the register. In the particular form shown, each screw is held in a housin 10 in such a manner that when rotated eachscrew will have the effect of moving the lower end ,of its respective deflector toward or from the rear wall 1*. The adjustment of each deflector 5, '6 and 7 may be effected independently of the others. A suitable perforation or perforations is provided at the front to afford access to the end of the screw for operation.

'1212 are shutters carried within the box 1 and arranged to be operated by bar 13 by which said shutters are linked together so that when said bar is moved, said shutters will be opened or closed.

14 is an exposed operating member connected with the bar 13 and accessible at the front of the register, whereby the shutters 12 may be opened and'closed.

By the aforesaid construction, the defiec--- tors 5, 6 and 7 may be so adjusted as to cause air rising through the flue 4 to project forwardly and through the perforated throughout the entire area of the latter.

In the preferred arrangement of the deflector adjusting screws, they are .placed side by side as best seen in Fig. 1, each overlapping the other and yet not interfering in any way. V

What I claim is: 1. In a side wall register, a face plate, a box extending rearwardly therefrom and opening at the rear, an extension at the rear of said box, said extension being closed at its sides and rear and'opening downwardly only, deflectors within said extension and arranged between the side walls thereof and means to independently move said deflectors with respect to each other, to shift the position of the same relatively to the rear wall of the downward extension and a plurality of shutters in advance of said deflectors with means for operating the'same. 2. In a side wall register, a face plate, a box extending rearwardly therefrom and 110 opening at the rear, an extension at the rear of said box, said extension being closed at face its sides and rear and opening downwardly only, a deflector within said extension and arranged between the side walls thereof and ,passages to afford access to said deflector adjusting device.

3. In a side wall register, a .box having an integral rearward extension opening downwardly, a plurality of curved deflectors therein, saidfdeflectors inclining forwardly toward, the front of the box and being pivoted to said box, an adjusting device for one of said deflectors, said adjusting device being operable from the front of the register and a threaded connection between said adjusting device and said deflector.

4. In a side wall register, a box having a rearward extension opening downwardly, a plurality of curved deflectors therein, said deflectors inclining forwardly toward the front of the box and being secured thereto at their upper outer ends, the lower ends of said deflectors being free to be adj usted,'and

independent adjustlng devices'for the lower ends of said deflectors, said adjusting devices being operablefrom the front of the register.

5. In a side wall register, a box having a rearward extension opening downwardly, a

plurality of curved deflectors therein, said FREDERICK A. WILSON.
